Reply to Reform Our Jails and do it NOW in Politics JoeUser Forums

think I've read that the US passed China, last year, to claim the highest incarceration rate in the world. How depressing is that? On the other hand, it looks like my homestate, California, is about to vote to weaken its three strikes law, which puts a tremendous number of people in prison -- for decades -- for minor nonv

Reform Our Jails and do it NOW in Politics JoeUser Forums

It is really quite sad that we, the United States, place into prison more than 2 million of our own citizens, and then allow these prisoners to be abused, raped and beaten by other prisoners. Some serious things need to be done to our prisons. Now, I have never been to prison, and I hope to never go, but from what I have heard from the media and others, the situation is quite precarious. According to the BBC, more than 1 million of the prisoners are in

Talk about rude.. and a personal note in Politics JoeUser Forums

*note this is a humor piece. "We heard that Castro fell," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said. When asked if he wished Castro a speedy recovery, Boucher said, "No." ...wow. I mean, we can disagree all we want with Cuba, but to go sofar as to say no we don't wish him a speedy recovery.. pretty sad. Now, the personal note: I am getting very busy and won't have time for my recent daily posts. I need to wea

Reply to Political Yard Sign Wars Wage as Election Nears in Politics JoeUser Forums

The NY Times had a short piece on the layout of the Bush/Cheney logo vs the Kerry/Edwards logo. The graphic designer preferred the Bush signs, and I have to admit I agree. I mean, the Kerry logo is fine, and I never would have thought about it if I hadn't read the article, but the Bush logo is cleaner and more modern looking.</TD

Reply to Political Yard Sign Wars Wage as Election Nears in Politics JoeUser Forums

My yard signs were stolen 3 times. I ended up tying it down. I think they realized I wasn't going to give up, and that I had a stock pile of them. My next step was to buy a fake video camera for $20.. put it up and put up a sign saying warning video security systems are active... and also a note saying the police had been contacted (which they had).

Reply to Why I own, and will continue to own a foreign car in Politics JoeUser Forums

How many miles does that add up to? My cars only last 5 to 6 years. That sounds bad when you hear it by years. However, I have a car that I bout 11 days ago and it already has over 1,000 miles on it. 12,000 a year while a "main driver". As a back up car, maybe 1,000 miles a year at most. My 15 year o

Mercede's is basically a US company now (since Daimler and Chrysler merged). The Mercedes that you find in Europe are different than the ones in the US, as are the Jeeps. (You can also get Europe Jeeps with diesel engines, as an example). One of the problems with cars is that America is a throw away society. Just look at ho

I love how this turned into a conversating about cars.. now I'll throw my bit into it. Porshces continue to have air cooled engines (the 997 version of the 911). Now, who here is a lexus fan? Anyone? I love mine. Best car I ever owned. Talk about well made. I'm not so in love with the euro cars anymore. Mercedes used to stand for quality, now they stand for quantity.

What if Bill Gates were president in Politics JoeUser Forums

Something someone posted reminded me of bill gates humor, so I thought, hey why not make one for if Bill Gates was president: 1) Instead of congressmen, we would have animated paper clip assistants representing us 2) The federal government would "freeze", causing chaos 3) Vaccines would be needed for all the new viruses 4) Washington DC would move to Richmond, washington 5) The official logo of the white hosue would change to a

Why abortion is and should remain legal in Politics JoeUser Forums

When is something a living thing of its own? Are your skin cells living things? And sperm? What about the bacteria inside your body? Are these living things? I believe that a baby is part of a Woman, until a certain point, which I haven't really decided. At the earliest, it is when the baby could sustain life outside of the mother. At the latest, it is when the baby is born. Under this thinking, "killing" the baby, which is more real

Why I support John Kerry for President of the United States of America in Politics JoeUser Forums

I have been told to either put up or shut up. In this spirit, I am going to announce the reasons why I support John Kerry, and not the reasons I do not support G dubya. 1) Despite claims to the contrary by the GOP, John Kerry actually has a mighty impressive foreign record. He cracked down on drug trafficking in Panama, and cracked down on their corrupt national bank, which was involved in illegal activates with the CIA. He also worked out PO

I suggest some of you look into where your car was made. Buying a "Japanese" car doesn't necessarily mean it was made in Japan, not by a long shot. Toyota has a huge plant here in KY that employs thousands of people. It is one of many foriegn companies that build cars here and inject tons of money into local communities by doing
